August 2005 Yellowstone Trip Report

DAY 1, Aug. 10, 2005Flew to Missoula. Joined two other ex-Xanterra employees, one of which lived nearby and provided our transportation. Our overnight stay had view of Bitterroot Mountain.DAY 2, Aug. 11Traveled to "Bunkhouse" dorm, our next three night's accommodations in Gardiner. Drove through Mammoth's terrace drive and got pelted with tiny snowballs. A welcome relief though from our previous outside park temperatures of 80s and 90s. Caught a slide presentation in Mammoth Hotel map room on an Albany, NY, family who'd traveled through the park in 1902.
